My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 226
Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Unexpected Answer_1
Mother Ding was leaning crookedly on the head of the hospital bed, her reluctant gaze lingered on Ding Yinuo’s face for a long time before she finally let out a long sigh.
“When his father passed away, I felt as if half the world had collapsed on me!”
“Aunty, you still have Ding Xiao and Ding Yinuo! They can hold up this world. Men are all pillars of the world.”
Mother Ding shook her head, and then looked at Ding Yinuo again.
She let out another sigh.
“I’m afraid my health isn’t holding up either! The thing I can’t let go of now is my second son! I won’t rest in peace until he is married.”
“Auntie, Yinuo is a doctor, he can cure you, no matter how serious the illness is!”
I mainly tried to comfort her.
Mother Ding just shook her head,
“Xiaosong, I know you’re a good girl. What do you think of our Yinuo?”
I looked at Ding Yinuo and gave a polite affirmation,
“I think Ding Yinuo is a great man, he won’t have to worry about finding a wife in the future.”
A confident and bold smile visibly appeared on Ding Yinuo’s face, and he even made a heart gesture towards me.
Mother Ding nodded,
“That’s good! Since you are fond of each other and see good in each other. Will you promise me one thing, marry our Yinuo!”
“Wait, Aunty, about that…”
Before I could finish my sentence, Mother Ding suddenly started to cough violently.
Ding Yinuo urged me anxiously at the side,
“Quickly agree!!!”
I suddenly remembered that when we entered the door earlier, Ding Yinuo had repeatedly told me that Mother Ding couldn’t withstand any shock, so I had to be careful with my words.
I was afraid that Mother Ding would not be able to bear the shock and something might happen, so I hurriedly agreed,
“Okay, Aunty! I agree!”
After I agreed,
Mother Ding immediately stopped coughing, and looked at me with smiling eyes, then took my hand, sizing me up and down.
“Good, good, you have a full and round forehead, which signifies good fortune! Xiaosong, I’m going to go to the temple tomorrow to pray, and you all should pick an auspicious date and arrange for the wedding.”
Ding Yinuo stood beside us, visibly overjoyed, his smile widened even more.
“Wait, Aunty, there’s no need to rush. We’re both busy with our careers right now, and there’s no harm in making a decision later.”
“Yes, it’s urgent, absolutely urgent! As long as my son isn’t married, I can’t have peace of mind!”
Seeing our disagreement, Ding Yinuo hurriedly said to Mother Ding,
“Mom, Ayun and I haven’t started dating yet. Suddenly jumping into marriage, not only would it be hard for her to accept, but her parents and family might not be able to react to it in time either, it’s too sudden. How about this, can we first get engaged?”
“Alright, that’s okay too!” Mother Ding agreed.
Ding Yinuo’s suggestion could be seen as a delaying tactic.
But it’s a good compromise for both of us.
I also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because getting engaged is much simpler than getting married.
When I looked up again, there were stars shining in Ding Yinuo’s eyes, they were very bright and dazzling.
Strangely, after I agreed to get engaged to Ding Yinuo, Mother Ding’s face also seemed to look much better.
The originally exhausted her even called Ding Xiao over again.
“Axiao! People always say that the eldest brother is like a father, and now that your father is no longer with us. You must take good care of Anuo. The engagement is also a big occasion for our Ding family. You must handle it well. Do it lavishly, so everyone outside can see that our Ding family is still thriving.”
“Alright, Mother, I’ll handle it accordingly, I won’t let you down.”
After leaving the sick room, Ding Yinuo held my hand and wouldn’t let go.
When we got in the elevator, he was still looking at me and grinning foolishly.
“What are you grinning about?”
“You are mine now!”
“Cough, let’s be clear first, I only agreed to appease your mother’s health condition! This is just a temporary solution, don’t take it literally.”
“I don’t care! You are Ding Yinuo’s fiancée from now on!”
“We haven’t even reached the stage of engagement yet, and you’re already labelling so fast?”
“Ayun, do you know why you were reborn?”
Ding Yinuo held my face and asked seriously.
“To let me see Gu Yuanzhou’s true colors?”
“Because God thinks you owe me and wanted you to come back and make it up to me. Ayun, we were supposed to be a couple, we should have been together in our previous lifetimes. But because Gu Yuanzhou was born, he disrupted our meeting, which led to our separation…”
“Pfft, why do you think Gu Yuanzhou disrupted our relationship?”
Ding Yinuo stared into my eyes, surveying my brows and eyes for a long time before he whispered, “Because, that love letter was written by me! Ayun! If it wasn’t for Gu Yuanzhou, we would be together, do you understand?”
I looked at him in shock.
Actually, I had a vague suspicion that he wrote the love letter.
But hearing it straight from his mouth was still very surprising.
“Why did you write a love letter to me?”
Ding Yinuo just smiled.
He looked at me with a grin on his face.
“Haven’t you always been waiting for my love letter?”
“But, didn’t you and Jiang Jiaying get together?”
“That was just to annoy you! Ayun, everything I did was because of you! Back then, I was just a youth, ignorant and shy, sometimes acting capricious, with a strong sense of self-esteem.”
“Ah, so why are you daring to say it now?”
“Hmm, people have to learn to grow. Now, I’ve grown up! Well, I can’t say grown up, I should say matured.”
As Ding Yinuo and I were chatting and laughing, the elevator door suddenly opened.
To our surprise, the person who walked in was Gu Yuanzhou.
At that time, the elevator was on the third floor, and the floor we were going to was the first floor.
This man entered the elevator, his sharp eyes swept over Ding Yinuo’s face, and finally landed on mine.
He didn’t seem to be interested in us.
After just a casual glance,
He turned his back to us, silent.
Although none of the three of us spoke, the atmosphere in the air was exceedingly awkward.
I could also feel the hostility radiating from Ding Yinuo, his suppressed urge to confront Gu Yuanzhou head-on.
The only thing I could do was to hold his hand tightly to prevent him from acting impulsively.
I was just wondering why Gu Yuanzhou would be in the hospital?
Just as the elevator reached the first floor, Gu Yuanzhou’s phone rang and he answered.
“Hmm, I didn’t see those two kids on the third floor just now! What, on the thirteenth floor? Alright, I’ll be right there!”
A few seconds later, the elevator reached the first floor.
Ding Yinuo led me by the hand to leave the elevator, while Gu Yuanzhou remained inside. Once the doors closed, he continued to ascend.
I was still immersed in what Gu Yuanzhou had just said. What did he mean by “two children”?
